Profile:

Billy "Brocky" Brockwell was a late developer, taking eight seasons to establish himself in the Surrey side, he was a stylish and aggressive right handed opener, often partnering Bobby Abel. He was less successful on the international scene, failing to keep his place in strong England sides. He was an effective medium pace bowler, and a good second slip. He was well educated, and known as a man of fashion and culture, a keen photographer and writer. He took on winter employment as a coach in India, by the Maharajah of Pataila, and in South Africa. After his retirement, he lived well on the proceeds of his benefit season, but took to drink after the untimely death of his friend, Tom Richardson in 1912. He became destitute, and despite an appeal on his behalf in the Sporting Life, spent his final fifteen years often homeless and living rough (Dave Liverman, 1998).
